What I didn't realize is they were there for me. They were there because the expectation was that when Cassidy Hutchinson testified to the things that she had already pre-organized, she was going to testify with Liz Cheney that I might get violent. I might be the one who does something to her. You're going to get violent. That was the expectation.

I am surmising that by the fact that in a closed office building, as I walk into this interview, which was literally only me, Cassidy Hutchinson, Liz Cheney, and Dan George, her staff, and then there was a videographer and a court reporter who were there. It was just us, and there were Capitol Police everywhere.

But the thing that was really interesting and the part that I found particularly unusual is that coming out of that, it was a phenomenon in every one of our interviews that every time after Cassidy Hutchinson had testified while I was representing her, there would suddenly be leaks in real time about the fact she had testified, what a great witness she was.

And my obvious initial assumption is this committee is leaking on me immediately as soon as my client goes in. And it was my job to protect her. My job, she was somebody who had presented to me as saying, I don't want to testify. I don't like the January 6th committee. I don't want to do any of this. How do I get through this process and be able to have a job on the back end?

That was the mission as it was presented to me. I will testify if I have to, but I want to be able to get through it. But these leaks kept happening. And I kept assuming that it was the January 6th committee. So after this third interview, the one that I'm describing to you, which was, there was only four of us in the room.

Literally, as Cassidy and I are in the cab driving out together, I have on my phone a text message that had clearly come while we were testifying asking me about her testimony. And I was livid about that, that in fact, in real time, somebody's leaking to the press. So I took a screenshot of that. And I sent it to Dan George, the staffer. And I was really upset.

I sent him a text and I still have all these texts. And I said, well, that was really fast. You guys did that. And I had a subsequent conversation where I said, why are you destroying this poor girl's life by every time she testifies, you are leaking about it. And now you're leaking about this third interview. You're destroying any career opportunities she might've had.

And what Dan George told me, he says, I assure you, this was not us who leaked. Nobody on the committee knew we were doing this interview. It was only Liz Cheney and I, and that Dan George said to me, and in fact, the other committee members would probably be upset if they knew that Liz Cheney had done that.
